Would love it if you could add automatic translations when people chat. This would be something very valuable in spreading the tool to multinational or multilingual organizations.

If you got really bold, you could include the same functionality on video chats ala Google Translate

Hi @Joel_Sapp,

Thanks for your suggestion, this seems like a cool feature that we could incorporate into the Zoom app. We’ll talk with our Engineering team to see about the possibilities and to determine a good timeframe to release this feature.

Thanks
